    As they keep moving grounds, maybe now would be appropriate for a Hull Rovers name change?

    To be a feeder club we'd need to be affiliated to them surely? More likely they'd be a smaller local rival dividing the fan base the same way Rovers and City do in Bristol.

    This is the first time they've ever moved grounds.

    Under that name, aye. Traditionally, they change names when they change grounds. <ok>

    rovers sounds like it has purpose. wanderers sounds more random.

    Fair enough.

    Seemingly they started on Holderness Rd as St Andrews, but St Andrews is the other side of the river, so presumably they'd been elsewhere first, before heading east and then on their pilgrimage into the East Riding wilderness.

    What about Hull (and E.R.) Unsettled. Nickname "The Peripatetics"?

    It would follow the theme of City's history too. <ok>

    St Andrews Community Centre is east of the river (near Ennerdale), isn't it likely they started there?

    Possibly, that's an annexe of the church or school, but still miles away from Holderness Rd, which is where the blurb says they played.

    I thought it was from Humber St Andrews Club on Anlaby Rd.
    I seriously doubt its owt to do with St Andres School on Sutton Park

    Hull Kingston United sounds ok

    the st andrew's club on anlaby rd recently closed, seemingly permanently. perhaps they were related to that, or the dock. or a lost church. or all three.

    St Andrews were always an East Hull team when I was a lad.

    Dunno how they started though.

    St Andrews is a council ward in West Hull.

    Not sure if the ward was named after the dock or vice versa.

    Certainly has fishing connections though.

    there was a st andrew's church in or around drypool. haven't worked out exactly where yet.

    "The church of St Andrew was consecrated in 1878;[map 4][32] designed by architects 'Adams & Kelly' in Geometric Decorated Gothic style of brick with stone; it was built in response to the expansion of the east of the town due to the construction of Victoria Dock,[36] and became the parish church in 1879. The parish church became St Columba in 1961.[32] St Andrews has been demolished."

    oh, wait

    53.751209°N 0.317116°W St Andrew's church, corner of Abbey Street and Holderness Road
